WHILE RESISTING ARREST
Thomas swearinger is Shot and Killed by
 Onicors of tho Law.

rhemas Swearinger Is Shot and Killed by
 Onncsrs of the Law.
 On the Ist of June last warrants were issued by Justice of the Peace George H. Tinker, for the arrest of two men, Thomas Swearinger and Dan Davis, who were charged with an assault on Philip Holzman, of the firm of Kennedy X Holzman, the tie contractors. The men had been in the employ of Kennedy & Hickman and there had been some difficulty between them and their employers, and Swearlnger jumped on to Mir. Hickman, Davls standing by with a pistol Tn his hand to prevent any one interfering. When Constables Odell and Donanue went out to the tie camp to arrest the men, Swearlnger was arrested and while one of the of ficers was guarding him, man crept up from behind and threw his pistol on the constable and both men eS- caped in tE. timber, as II was dark it was useless pursuing them and they nave been at large since that time.
 Obtaining information of their whereabouts, Deputy Sheriffs Francis and Powell, Constable Odell, Sam Johnson and Lyman Drum started out on July Ist, and after going south about sixty miles found the cabin where they supposed the men were hiding, at place known as Camp. bells Springs, The officers secreted themselves in and near the cabin and Tn short time two men were seen approaching, who turned out to be Swearinger and Davis. It was now getting nearly dark, and the officers called out ordering the two men to surrender, but instead of doing SC they drew their reyolvers and com menced 10 run. Firing then became general and it seems that fifteen ol twenty shots were exchanged. Con I stable Odell had narrow escape, g ball passing between his legs. The two men were trying to reach some trees about seventy yards distant from the cabin, betore reaching the shelter Swearinger was seen to fall, but Davis managed to reach tree and was seer to fire on the officers twice, from be hind it. Davis then called out |, enquire who the party was and wa informed that they were officers, ano after some talk with Deputy Sherif Francis, he surrendered. Swearlnge was found where he tell, dead, havlni been shot in three places.
 | On Saturday afternoon George H Tinker, acting coroner, was sent fo to go out and hold an inquest on tn body of Swcaringer' He proceeded to the spot where the killing had ta ken place, taking jury with hir from Mormon Dairy. After hearinI the evidence the jury returned yer dict that Thomas Swearinger came t his death while resisting arrest. Swear finger was about twenty-five years C age and is supposed to have com from Missouri.
 Deputy Sheriff Francis brought i his prisoner, Davis, and on Tuesda
 he had preliminary examination be fore the justice of the peace and wa held in $I,5oo bonds to await tn action of the grand jury. Failing [
 obtain bonds he was taken to tn county jail at Prescott, on Wedne' day last.

THEN AND NOW.

hNiS io IN ShhNi SNuhN 'h N"N world that has any holiday at all re- sembling our Fourth of July, and our manner of celebrating il is as unique as the festival itself. We keep Christ mas and Thanksgiving by indulging in good cheer at home. They are es- sentially family festivals, but on the Fourth, the whole people are all one family; then home is out of doors and every member of this national family thinks it his particular duty to indulge in hurrah of some sort. We are in tensely patriotic, if that feeling is en. couraged by making great noise, al though it is not easy to explain the connection between patriotism and bunch of hrecrackers.
 The day has grown to have less definite expression than when many of us were boys on the Atlantic coast. Then it was more of martial display, we all marched in line with an exult- ant shout of freedom and defiance to the old country across the sea. The bird of freedom screeched to her ut most capacity and we felt it a duty to whip another boy-provided we could find one smaller than ourselves just to show that we were young citizens of "the land of the free and the home of the brave." All these things have changed now, the bellig- erent feeling has died out and the small boy spends his savings for months on torpedoes and firecrackers and explodes them without exactly knowing what he is doing it for. The ladies-God bless them--gather in their best attire to listen 10 the ornate eloquence of some ambitious young orator, in which the eagle-screech is no longer heard, while the boys of long ago-many of them grandfath- ers-are apt to celebrate by com. placently viewing the stars and stripes through the bottom of glass.
 The day has lost many of its char acteristic old-time features. Preach. CTS and orators no longer indulge in diatribes against all other forms oi government but our own. We are taught now not only to love our own dear old flag, but the people who live under other flags, even including the "Union Jack" that stupid, gouty, old George of England, tried to make the badge of our servitude.
 How much more cause we have now for celebrating, than in the day: of yore. Then we were like a nation of young Davids that had whipped the Goliaths of the land and sea. We were proud of our valor and shouted with joy at our prowess. Since ther we have gained victories over our selves; we have passed through tribu lations and come out of the tria with our principles purified. We have destroyed the "bar sinister which defaced our national flag. w, have history now. The Declaration of Independence made by our fore fathers has begotten deeds, the glor, which will never fade. These thing are worth commemorating more thar the mere fact of having asserted ou manhood by throwing off our allegi ance to tyrannical Psovernment As people we had much to be vail of then, but have we not more to b lproud of and grateful for, now2

PECULIAR LIQUOR CASE.
A States Witness Charged With Be-
ing an Unlicensed Seller.

Yesterday afternoon before United States
Commissioner d. w. Fessenden. LYMAN B.
Heath of Gardiner was brought mn on a
charge Oh being retail liquor seller without
having United States license The case
was made one of some Importance by the APP
pearance of L. t. Carleton, ESQ.,, county st-
torney OF Keunebec, TO defend the respond
emit
Last week Portland lawyer received
Telegram from Gardiner requesting him TO
nave United States officer sent to that city
TO make an arrest. The telegram was turned
over TO the United States authorities in this
city. United States Marshal Harmon tele-
graphed the City Marshal of Gardiner for
information. Before the City Marshal re-
piled to this telegram two more dispatches
were received here from parties in Gardiner
asking for the arrest of Heath. District At
torney Bird accordingly made complaint
and Deputy Marshal Andrews arrested
Heath upon warrant issued by Commits
sioner Fessenden.
The first witness for the government at the
hearing was Daniel Dunton of Gardiner,
who testified that he had bought liquor Of
Heath who carried it about with him in a
bottle, being as the witness called it liquor
''toter"
On cross-examination by Mr.. Carleton, the
witness testified to having talked with men
named Merrill, Dumphy and McGrath, all
Of whom are under indictment for liquor
selling in violation of the State law, in re-
gard to Heath's action in becoming govern
ment witness against them. Mr.. Carleton
asked questions to ascertain whether or not
efforts had been made by the indicted parties
to instruct Heath to leave the city, but an
objection was made and the questions were
withdrawn.
Herbert l.. Dunton, son of the first witness,
testified that he had seen his father give
money to Heath and take a bottle from him.
Mr.. Carleton in his remarks said that the
case was put up job to get Heath, who was
witness before the grand jury against the
men named and who will be witness at
the trial Of their cases out of the way. Eff
forts have been made to get Heath out Of
the city. These efforts failing Heath was
arrested ON this charge.
Heath was called and testified that he is
brick maker in summer a building mover in
fall and an ice man in winter He denied
that he was liquor seller and that he had
sold liquor to Dudton.
The commissioner ordered Heath bound
over in the sum of $500. Mr.. Carleton gave
notice that he should take Heath to Augusta
on a writ oil hdbeas corpus as an important
witness for the State, and that he should de-
fend the prisoner before jury.
Mr. Carlton, after the hearing, stated that
he expected to clear Heath of the charges
against him. He said that he had three
witnesses against certain men in Gardiner of
whom Heath is one. The other two have
been got out Of the State, but the County
Attorney expects to Secure convictions ON
the testimony Of Heath. Mr.. Carleton said
that he thinks this is the first case of the
kind which has ever occurred in the State.
